about the travel Several art projects, developed in the province of Drenthe during the last couple of years, were (re)presented by means of videos, photos and installations as part of an exhibition entitled CO-OP. Stories and histories of inhabitants of villages and cities were the starting point of these art works.

The common theme of the exhibition was the cooperation between artists and the directly involved persons. The exhibition showed work of the artists Martin and Inge Riebeek, Lino Hellings, William Speakman and Hieke Pars. Also the mobile and growing archive Bibliobox of Wapke Feenstra’s Myvillages was presented.
Bibliobox was shown in the workspace of CO-OP, were children and adults from the city of Assen could work on projects themselves. The Bibliobox documentation was consulted regularly by the visitors and provided a wonderful deepening of background knowledge of the exhibition themes.

In the workspace of CO-OP also the project Moving landscape of Wapke Feenstra was displayed on touch-screen. It was a very inviting and stimulating presentation for visitors. The project focused on the changing/changed landscape in Belgian Limburg.
During guided tours and workshops, visitors - children as well as adults - were introduced to both Bibliobox and Moving landscape.
